Pennsylvania E-Rate Listserve
To provide Pennsylvania’s schools and libraries with updated information on program changes, pitfalls, filing reminders, funding announcements, and trainings, the Pennsylvania E-Rate Coordinator maintains an active one-way listserv. Typically, 8-12 messages are sent per month, depending on program activity. To subscribe, e-mail Lorrie Germann at lgermann@e-ratepa.org with your name, organization, and e-mail address (e-mail addresses are never shared). A list of previous listserv messages dating back to the program’s inception can be found under the Listserv Archive
